The Most Singular Accident on Record
—Schnaebels Released—Caring for
the Captive Apaches—A Clew
to the Train Robbers.
Sad Sequel of a Divorce Suit.
Associated Press.
Indianapolis, lnd., April 30.—Mrs.
William Mantle died late last night under
circumstances which have excited
the deepest commiseration in her behalf
and great indignation against her
husband. A few days ago the husband
filed suit for a divorce, alleging that Mrs.
Mantle had held illicit relations with
Daniel Taggart, a well knowm business
man, and later a demand against Taggart
for $10,000 damages, in applying tor
which Mantle expressly stipulated that
whatever benefit might accrue in a judgment
against the defendant it should be
applied solely to the woman he had cast
aside. Since the first suit was filed
Mrs. Mantle has been greatly excited,
and it was evident that she was
rapidly losing her mind. Yesterday
morning she was found in the woodshed,
where she had slept all night, und when
she was taken into the house it was
plain that her mind was gone. ■ Last
night some friends were sitting up with
her, when she suddenly fell from her
chair and expired, having been stricken
with paralysis as a result of her intense
mental excitement. Mantle learned ot
his wife’s dsath this morning and
became frantic from grief. Seizing a
gun, he started out to kill Taggart,
whom he charged with all his trouble,
but was captured and a guard
placed over him at his house. During
the day he became violently insane and
could Sekept quiet only by the use of
opiates. When not under their influence
he is unmanageable. Several men were
required to hold him in bed. He firmly
believes that Taggariwvji guilty of acts
charged, but it is generafiy thought that
there was no foundation for his jealousy.
A post mortem examination was held on
the remains of Mrs. Mantle today upon
the demand of the neighbors, but
nothing was found to justify the suspicion
of foul play upon the part of her
husband. Her death was immediately
caused by the bursting of a blood vessel
at the base of the brain, and this was no
doubt caused by intense mental excitement.
The Captive Apaches.
Associated Press,
Washington, April 30.—An inspection
by army officers of the reservation
at Mt. Vernon, Ala., with a view to making
it the future home of the Apache Indian
captives, shows that it is peculiarly
adapted for this purpose. The reservation
embraces 2162 acres of fine forest
land, well watered and affording ample
supply of who’esome water for drinking
and bathing purposes for a large number
of people. But little of the land
is cleared and none of it is
adapted for agricultural purposes. The
country for ntanys mile about is is sparsely
settled. It is one of the healthiest
localities in the south, with ample means
of communication with the outside world
by both water and rail. The barracks
buildings are needed for post purposes,
but temporary structures can be erected
for the Indians at a small expense.
Three hundred and fiftyfour Indians
have been taken there from Fort Madison
; sixtythree Apaches, men, women
and children, have been taken to Carlisle,
and twenty women and children
have joined the renegades at Fort Pickens,
Fla.
A Singular Death.
Associated Fress.
Raleigh. N." C., April 30.—There was
a procession Wednesday in Clinton in
honor of the completion of the railroad,
and thousands of people lined the streets.
Col. William C. Jones, a prominent young
officer was in command of the troops as
colonel of the Second infantry regiment.
His horse, alarmed at the noise, became
unmanageable and dashed wildly
into a group of marshals. Col.
Jones was thrown violently from
his saddle, holding fast in his right hand
his drawn sword, which, as he fell, pierced
the body of H. A. James, one 01 the
marshals. Both men fell together, while
their horses dashed away. The sword,
which was a United States regulation
blade, transfixed Mr. James from back
to breast, the blade entering on the left
side of the spine. After passing through
the body the blade snapped near the
hilt. Col. Jones narrowly escaped concussion
of the brain and the dreadful occurence
nearly drives him wild.
A Clew to the Train Robbers.
Associated Press.
San Francisco, April 30.—What is
considered an important clew to the
identity of the train robbers has been
obtained. A few weeks ago a stranger
bought a suit of clothes at the establishment
corner Post and Dupont streets,
and in taking off his old suit to
put on the new a letter dropped
from his pocket. The letter
was found by a clerk after his departure.
It gave the description to an accomplice
of a plan to rob a train on the
Southern Pacific Road. The confederate
was instructed to get off the train at
Nogales. The letter concluded with the
words: “Paint your face black, and be
sure to cover your red hair,” and was
signed “Reddy.” The letter has been
given to the police.
PleuroPneumonia in Chicago.
Associated Press.
Chicago, April 30.—A local paper
says this morning that pleuropneumonia
according to the statistics ot the state
live stock commission, is more prevalent
in Chicago and vicinity than ever before,
and it has been found necessary to
quarantine the district between the Lake
and Desplaines river lying north of
TwentySecond street, including the
towns of Lakeview and Jefferson. Since
the first discovery, of the disease, last
fall it has been spreading slowly, despite
preventive measures. It has become
epidemic and apparently can only
be eradicated by sacrificing all the cattie
that have been exposed to it. Yesterday
the count ot the veterinarians engaged,
showed that 8,200 cows
were quarantined, and upward of two
hundred have been slaughtered. The
number in quarantine two weeks ago
was 10,250, the decrease being due entirely
to the slaughtering method in
vogue. All animals inspected now are
marked with a tag in order to prevent
their removal without permission. Chairman
Pearson says the present outbreak
ot the disease is traceable to the outbreak
in the distillery sheds last fall. He
also believed that it was brought to Chicago
originally from Geneva, where it
made its appearance three or four years
ago, and came to Illinois from Maryland,
and New York, through indiscriminate
alleged blooded stock.
Jay Gould’s Late Purchase.
Associated Press.
St. Louis, April 30.—A local paper
says Jay Gould has perfected the purchase
of 168 acres of land from John
Bofenger, the consideration being $85,
000. The land was bought for an extensive
manufacturing site, where the machine
shops of both the Missouri Pacific
and Iron Mountain and Southern are to
be consolidated, where at least 4,000
men will be employed. These employes
are to be furnished with dwellings that
are to be provided with all conveniences
essential to homes for firstclass
mechanics. It will be two years
before this suburb can be put in running
order.

Associated Press.
Paris, April 30,—M. Schnaebels, who

the whole populace of the town,
headed by all officers of the municipality.
M. Schnaebels was ovated by the

“Vive Schnaebels.” After a short
stop M. Schnaebels proceeded to Paris.
He declined to be interviewed by memhers
of the press.

Associated Press.
ti.CHlCASO, April 30.—Bridget Morgan,

saving her life, but are by no means confident
of her recovery.

Captain of the Waco Light Infantry, Waco, Texas.
Dear Sir:—It is the intention of the

these premiums will be collected in advance
and placed in bank, so that you

drill against the famous Houston Light

“We are very favorably impressed with
the idea of going to Paris. It is the very
time of year when a drill should be had
—not too early or too late. The prizes
are the most liberal ever offered in Texas
and you can not only say we will send a
full team there, but that we expect to
bring away first prize, even if we have to
drill against the famous Houston Light
Guard.”
